How Privileged Access Management (PAM) Enables NIST's 7 Tenets of Zero Trust

This NIST zero trust mapping guide has been prepared so that IT and security administrators can clearly understand how BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions align with guidelines set forth in the NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-207 on Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Download this guide to understand:

  • How NIST SP 800-207 defines zero trust, and other key concepts
  • Why PAM is essential to enabling a zero trust architecture (ZTA)
  • How BeyondTrust solutions map to and enable the 7 core tenets of the NIST zero trust model
  • How common PAM use cases enable the core tenets of the NIST zero trust model

Countering the Attack: How Zero Trust is Pushing Back Against New Cyberthreats

In their Special Publication, 800-207, Zero Trust Architecture, NIST points to identity as the critical first step to regaining control over the perimeter, and to Zero Trust as the best security architecture for meeting the requirements of hybrid, cloud, and often multi-cloud network infrastructures. Guided by the two core mantras of “Assume breach” and “Never trust, always verify”, and built on a foundation of cybersecurity paradigms that include enforcing continuous authentication, eliminating persistent trust, implementing the least privilege, enforcing segmentation and micro-segmentation, and ensuring visibility, Zero Trust can help organizations:

  • Reduce the attack surface
  • Prevent unauthorized access to data and services
  • Control the impact threshold of any threat that does present itself to the network.

A Zero Trust Approach to Modernize the Common Office Environment (COE)

Security for a modern Common Office Environment (COE) should adhere to the foundational principles of zero trust to affect a shift away from the perimeter and network security controls as being the primary method used to secure resources. Read on to explore how the modern COE should evolve to reflect a zero trust and identity-centric posture.
